Three stone alignments, ten cairns, three stone hut circles and a length of the Great Western Reave on Longash Common is a Bronze Age ceremonial and domestic landscape situated in Devon, England. The site comprises multiple elements typical of moorland settlement and ritual activity from the second millennium BCE, including at least three linear alignments of standing stones, a series of burial cairns, the remains of stone-built dwellings, and a substantial section of the Great Western Reave, a prehistoric boundary wall that traverses the Dartmoor plateau. The hut circles represent domestic occupation of the commons during the Bronze Age, whilst the cairns and alignments suggest ritual or ceremonial purposes. The presence of the Great Western Reave, one of the most extensive prehistoric field systems in Britain, indicates the organised management and division of this moorland landscape during the Bronze Age period.
